Navy Helicopter Visit

Last week the Navy helicopter came to visit us at school. It was an awesome experience watching (and feeling) it  land and take off again. We got to learn about how the helicopter works and about their jobs. One of them was a pilot, one signals when the helicopter is landing and another stays in the back and organises the weapons and gear.  We all got to strap into the seats to see what it is like inside. Thank you to the Navy for sharing your helicopter and staff with us for the afternoon!

Marsden Bay Camp 2020

Last week a group of 33 super students and 8 awesome adults attended a 3 day camp at Marsden Bay Christian Camp. We showed our 3R’s and were given high praise from the staff there. We were able to test our skills in archery and on a confidence course, push our fears to ride the flying fox, and challenge each other playing basketball, beach volleyball, bumper balls, soccer and chess. But because it was so hot, we mostly enjoyed kayaking, swimming, water sliding, doing bombs at the beach and playing in the waves at Ruakaka Beach. It was a great way to start the year and we all had a blast. Thank you to all the parents for coming with us, without your support these camps are not possible.

2019 Graduates... Good Luck

This year we have had to watch, as an amazing bunch of our students from last year, leave the nest and head away to college. We all miss them like crazy but wish them all the very best for their new adventures at their new schools. Here are some pictures of our beautiful/handsome graduates at their Year 8 Graduation last year. They sure do scrub up well!
